Is my child eligible for pre-kindergarten?

 

 A child must be four years old on or before September 1, 2008, and come from a family with an economically disadvantaged background.  If vacancies remain after children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds have been enrolled, the remaining vacancies may be filled using locally determined at-risk criteria.  All children are screened to determine eligibility for PreKindergarten.

 

When will the screenings be held?

Screenings to determine eligibility will be held at the countywide PreKindergarten roundups.  All schools with the exception of Dynard Elementary will hold PreKindergarten roundups on Tuesday, April 22, 2008, from 9:30 a.m. - 12:00 noon and on Thursday, May 15, 2008, from 11:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.  Dynard Elementary will hold their PreKindergarten roundup on April 21, 2008, from 9:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and on Thursday, May 15, 2008, from 11:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
